One of CSOM’s original mandates has been and remains to provide training
for probation and parole agencies and other stakeholders across the country
who share responsibility for sex offender management. In the spirit of this
mandate, CSOM designs and conducts training events at national, regional,
and statewide professional conferences, and in specific jurisdictions (cities,
counties, states, and regions of the country) that are designed to address
the particular substantive needs and issues of the host agencies. In addition,
the project is developing a comprehensive set of curricula that can be used
by probation and parole staff, treatment providers, victim advocates, law
enforcement personnel, judges, prosecutors, and justice system educators
to plan and develop their own live training events on a variety of specific
issues related to sex offender management.

An introduction section and a “user’s guide” with background
information and guidance for trainers;

Outlines that list the major topics covered and the recommended time
allocated to each;

Presentation content and teaching notes with suggestions for using the
slides and learning activities;

Slides—which can be downloaded, printed, photocopied, and distributed
to participants—that can be used by trainers to highlight the main
teaching points made during the training;

Participant materials (including learning activities and substantive
resource materials) that can also be downloaded, printed, photocopied,
and distributed to participants; and

An evaluation form that trainers may find helpful in assessing the effectiveness
of the training.

Each curriculum is also available on CD–ROM. The CD–ROM versions
of the curricula are particularly useful to those who do not have access
to the Internet or who have a particularly slow Internet connection. For
more information about CSOM training events, the curriculum, or obtaining
a CD–ROM copy of one or more of the curricula, please contact Leilah Gilligan

Unfortunately, we are not able to ship CD–ROM’s to a PO Box number;
please provide an actual street address.
